BassCatchingNurse: That's so bad that the health system is like that (giving narcotic pains medications due to patient satisfaction reasons). That makes sense in that patients will unexpectedly lash...
NuGuyNurse2b: I suppose it would be pretty chaotic with having multiple people who have chest pains or who are having strokes all at once. That makes sense because it would be stressful!!! Does that...
Bass catching nurse: Wow you can have a lot of people in the waiting room!!So basically you might have to give patients things like morphine as you said when they don't necessarily need it (just to...
PeakRN: So in emergency you have less serious cases overall? So it's not that it's looked down upon for not having breaks...it's that you physically can't. Would that depend on how many staff are...
Bass catching nurse: That would be pretty frustrating when people waste your time in emergency with non-emergency cases. Wow about 95% aren't true emergencies! Oh wow that's real serious! Getting...
CX-EdRn: So do you work at a computer as well then? It seems like 12 hours shifts as an emergency nurse are the norm then. I suppose you would feel really tired after so long of a shift! Like the...
NuGuyNurse2b: Thank you for your reply! I suppose there's good and bad to every job. Would the bad days mainly consist of patients dying? What is med surgery like? I didn't realise that there were...
PiperLambie: That's great that you can work in ED straight out of your studies!!! Is that the same as the doctors? (The 4:1 ratio). I didn't realise that different emergencies can specialise in a...
Nature-Walker: I suppose nurses have their specialisation/s like a doctor does. Is the medical unit for general things? That would have been different to hear!! Thank
KelRn215: So does that mean that it would be half doing nursing in a hospital for instance and half teaching at a uni? Well I actually thought that 'accident and emergency' was its full term and...
So basically you could be having night/afternoon shift every day in the week. I suppose the body is trying to get rid of the toxins - that makes sense. That sounds good! So does that mean you could...
Thank you for your reply!! Your job seems very rewarding. I guess if there were more staff you would be able to have more choice in your hours. 1. How often do nurses have night/afternoon shifts then?...
Thank you for your help!!!! Can you only combine nursing and education in schools or can you combine them in other areas such as: -Doing nursing a couple of days in a week and teaching nursing at a...
Hi there, On the little information that I know about you I believe that by doing something that you are not happy in doing as a career will only make you feel more depressed. My suggestion is to...
Annie, you said that being a paramedic is tough for your body. In what ways would it put strain on yourself? Is this the same as nursing/other healthcare professions? Also, is there a way to avoid...
Thank you for your comments. Workitinurfava: How would you compare your experiences working in the different areas of nursing? Heynurse1996: 1. So do you also teach like a sports teacher would (the...
Thank you for your comment!! I thought that it might not be like the tv shows. I love any medical related shows like 'The Good Doctor', 'Love Child' and I love 'Call the Midwife' etc.!!!! It's...
Thank you everyone for your comments. I find it useful learning more about nursing as a profession. I'm not too sure why it says I have 1 year of experience. I actually didn't know it said that until...
Thank you for your reply. It sounds so hard trying to work 16 hours constantly being on your feet!!! Do you have regular breaks? It must be hard trying to plan your day being held
Thank you so much for your help!! If you don't mind me asking, what ward do you work in? I really have an interest in doing something in healthcare. The only concern I had was how frequently a nurse...
I was interested in doing a job in the healthcare profession but I am not sure what job just yet. I just wanted to know if there is a job that may include: *Being able to prescribe medication. *Treat...
